Prior to dismissal today, a fire alarm was activated in the building. As a precaution, students and staff followed our safety procedures and evacuated the building. The local fire department responded and completed a full check of the building. Once the building was cleared by the fire department, students and staff safely reentered, and dismissal resumed as normal. Thank you for your patience.
Save the Date! Our Middle School's annual Pizza Night Fundraiser will be on March 31 from 4-8 in the middle school cafeteria.
If you're attending the Middle School Spring Concert and don't have time to make dinner, come by before or after to enjoy some delicious pizza! There will be teachers serving students, raffle prizes, and more!

Clayton Middle School readers in action!
As part of the Read Across America celebration, CMS students and teachers participated in their annual “Drop Everything and Read” event yesterday. Hallways filled with quiet readers as everyone took 15–20 minutes to enjoy a good book together.
Moments like these help build a lifelong love of reading! 💙⚓
